It was all over our yard before it was mowed, though I did save about 10 in 4" pots. It's the 10th one down on my blog. (http://cheryla76.blogspot.com/ ) You can click on the picture to englarge. I would have inserted the picture in this post, but wasn't sure how big they get. Also any more ids and/or corrections on the other plants in my blog will be appreciated. TIA che    Report

Wildflowers of the Texas Hill Country by Marshall Enquist - organized by family Wildflowers of Texas by Geyata Ajilvsgi - organized by color Of the two, Geyata's will more often give cultural and toxicological information about the wildflower.
